I live in the Dallas / Fortworth (DFW) metroplex too, and there is a lot of excitement among democrats here. Last weekend, I went phone banking in the home of one of the Organising for America(OFA) captains here. There were so many of us, all fired up, and we reached thousands of people, 95% of whom had voted or were definately going to vote for the President.
On friday afternoon, I proudly cast my ballot for the president and majority of the people at my polling station(predominantly hispanic area) were also voting for the President.
Those of us in Texas are excited and enthusiastic and I feel the President will do better here than he did in 2008.
